Abstract

Performance analysis of rotating annular fins made of functionally graded material is reported in this study. The governing differential equation for such fins of rectangular and triangular profiles has been derived to evaluate the temperature distribution and efficiency of the fins with insulated tip boundary condition. Nonlinearity in the governing equation material heterogeneity and rotation at various speed is imposed and analyzed to compare the performance for both rectangular and triangular cross section. The results are presented in graphical form. The formulation is validated with benchmark results and good agreement is observed.
